Pyro suddenly turned to King and said, "So, you don't like Naruto?"
"Not really, Pyro... I just don't care for his happy, cheerful about everything all the time attitude... but why are you giving me that glare?" King said, folding his arms.
The little Charmander grinned happily and said, "Because, King... you're going to snuggle him."
We all were completely taken back by this. The Charmeleon gave a 'WTH' look at his brother as he then looked at Naruto. The Poochyena was sitting happily, but had his head tilted in confusion as King shook his head.
"And why the hell would I wanna do that?" he asked roughly.
"Because if you don't snuggle him, I'm gonna tell everybody about the incident," Pyro said with a devilish giggle.
"Eh...? What incident?" King asked, folding his arms.
It was then the little Charmander walked over and signaled his older brother to lean his head down so he could whisper into his ear. King crouched down and listened carefully as he was whispered something dreadful. It was so devastating that it made him pale up and sweatdrops immediately emerged off his head. He seriously looked at his little brother with guilt and fear as we all looked at each other with anticipation of an uproar.
"Y-you can't be frigging serious!" King disbelievingly shouted.
"I will, unless you hug Naruto right now," Pyro said, smiling at him.
The Charmeleon slowly looked over at my brother with a slow and agonizing look on his face. It made me giggle to see Naruto just smiling innocently and wagging his tail at him as the tortured soul walked over to him. His left eye twitched and his teeth biting his upper lip, King slowly reached down, picked Naruto up, and hugged him under his front legs. He grumbled silently as the group slowly snickered and smirked at him. My brother slowly smiled blissfully and snuggled into King's neck, letting his puppy instincts take over him. This made the Charmeleon grumble even more as the little brother giggled.
"Okay, now you have to tell him that you love him," he said, swaying back and forth.
King's eyes turned like a ticked-off anime character's as he whirled his head to him and said, "Say WHAT!?"
"You heard me... or I'll shout it out loud for everyone to hear, brother," the little tyke giggled.
King's head slowly turned back to the puppy as he was panting happily. You could just see the frustration and disgust come out of his face as he slowly sighed. I could see Zev slowly giggle silently as Sasuke grinned, trying to hide his face. Batsu raised an eyebrow unimpressed as I giggled nonstop. Just watched King's face being tormented by Pyro's blackmail made me dying of comedy.
The Charmeleon slowly sighed deeply and said, "All right, listen up, Naruto, cause I'm never saying this to you EVER again... I... urgggh... I love you..."
We all chuckled as he closed his eyes with annoyance and Naruto snuggled into him. He licked his chest in affection, causing the bully to shiver in shock. He glared at my brother as he smiled at him.
"Awww... thanks, King," he said as he closed his eyes.
"Now, the finishing touch," Pyro said grinning, "You have to kiss him now."
"OKAY, NOW THAT'S CROSSING THE LINE, BRO!" King roared angrily as he glared at him with a dark look, "There is no way in Arceus' freaking dimension that I am gonna kiss this flea-bag, dirt-rolling-"
The little kid smiled at us and cut him off, "So, guys, King one time went with me and our older brother to a restaurant, and a funny thing happened when he ordered-"
"Okay... stop. I'll... do it..." King interrupted, saving his skin and thus dooming him at the same time.
He slowly took a hold of Naruto's head with awkwardness and disgust. Quickly leaning his head in, he gave a quick peck on the top of his head. Once he did that, he immediately let go of Naruto, causing the Poochyena to fall down to the ground. He quickly started spitting out saliva out of his mouth as he rubbed his lips with his arms. He gagged and grunted as we all burst out laughing. Batsu shook his head with disappointment as he turned his back on our stupity. Pyro clapped happily as he jumped up and down.
"Yay! My brother loves Naruto just like me!" he cheered happily as he ran back to Naruto, "Now, I can continue to hug him happily!"
He clung onto my brother tightly, making him blush again. He giggled and hugged the little Charmander back, both of them rolling on the ground a bit. King growled in anger as he put his hands on his hips and shook his head. He was about to say something when suddenly a green flash happened in front of our eyes. In an instant, the bag that Zev had put down was gone.
"W-Whoa! W-what just happened?" Sasuke said, completely taken back.
"Hey, our bag got stolen!" I said shocked as I looked around.
"Who in blue blazes could steal our bag in a matter of seconds without us seeing it!?" King said, obviously still mad about what he just went through.
"Such quickness and blinding speed... that the normal naked eye can not trace the person... I have a hunch who this person might be..." Batsu said as he slowly looked at Zev, "Don't you, Zev?"
"Mhm. Let me be excused and bring him back over here," the Grovyle said as he walked towards the corner and bent down.
Suddenly, we watched Zev slowly bring over that Treecko that I had mentioned before the written test. He was burying his face into our teammate's chest so that he could 'hide'. He shivered as Zev also came back with our bag. He slowly smiled at us as he held the Treecko gently and tight.
"Guys, I wanna introduce you to my little brother, Sorren," he said gently, then looked at his brother, "Sorren, this is the rescue team I'm on that I told you about. They are Team Believers. Say hello."
Sorren stayed absolutely silent as he kept hiding his face in Zev. You could hear a pin drop from how silent it was. Our teammate softly giggled as he leaned his face in closer to Sorren's ear underneath his fedora and talked.
"Hey, it's all right. These guys aren't going to hurt you. I'm right here holding you. It'll be okay," Zev reassured him.
With that, the little guy slowly brought his head out of Zev's chest and looked at us, shaking a bit as he looked at us. As I looked at him, I could see myself, how I used to act inside of him. Being nervous and timid completely all the time... I hated acting like that. I hoped that the little guy would soon snap out of this time of his life and be more outgoing and brave soon.
"H-Hi..." he barely spoke at all.
We all waved to him, causing him to flinch a bit in fear. He jerked a bit back into Zev a bit, causing his brother to silently chuckle a bit. It was then that Pyro ran in front of them and grinned happily.
"Hi, Sorren!" he yelled.
"Oh... hi, Pyro," Sorren said, slowly smiling as Zev put him down and they began talking a bit.
"All right, then, Sasuke, if that's all, we should call the kids aside and get ready for the last and final stage," Batsu said nodding to him.
"Right. King, Pyro, tell your little brothers to go play for a little bit while we get this done," Sasuke said to them.
"Aww... d-does that mean you're going away again?" Sorren said to Zev.
"Sadly, yes, but don't you worry. I'm gonna be right back after it's done. And if you're good, I'll bring you some dinner from the BBQ pit. Okay?" Zev said, winking to him.
"Oh, okay. You have fun with your rescue team brother," Sorren said happily.
Suddenly, the Charmander gasped loudly and flailed out of control. He jumped up and down as he really got excited and turned to Sorren.
"Wait a flaming minute! That's it! Sorren, come with me!" he said as he grabbed the Treecko's wrists and ran, leading him away from the pond.
I have no idea what was going through Pyro's head at the moment, but somehow I felt it would lead into a serious part of my story in the future. We all slowly looked at each other, and just by the facial expressions we had on our faces, we could tell that he was going to be planning something big, with Sorren being dragged behind him. We then all looked toward King, who once he got a good look on our faces, gave us a grumpy glare at us and snorted.
"Ahh, yes, the infamous torture known as 'little brother blackmail'," Zev said, chuckling at King, "Don't worry, King. You're not the first to be the victim of that."
Hehe, yeah. And who knows if I will ever get to use that against my brothers...
"I DO NOT LOVE NARUTO AND NOBODY SPEAKS OF WHAT HAPPENED, GOT IT?" he growled at us.
We all looked at each other, and with everybody (including Batsu) giving him a sly smirk, we said, "Sure. Whatever."
